Manchester United have three main defensive targets for the January transfer window, according to latest reports.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has just replaced Jose Mourinho as manager at Old Trafford, taking charge of the club until the end of the season.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Norwegian tactician will not have a huge amount to spend this winter – just £50million – with a new central defender seemingly an understandable priority.

The report lists £30m-rated Toby Alderweireld and Porto youngster Eder Militao, worth roughly £40m, as two realistic targets who could be affordable.

There is also interest in Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, according to the Mirror, though his asking price of £90m makes a January deal unlikely unless something big changes.
